【明報專訊】One thing that might surprise Hong Kongers who have newly arrived in the UK is how polite the British people can be. In a Sainsbury's or Tesco, the two major supermarket chains, people say "sorry" and "thank you" to each other when their trolleys meet in aisles. At the checkout, customers express their heartfelt thanks to cashiers, a kind of etiquette we Hong Kongers might not be too familiar with, we having been so accustomed to being stone-faced to people who serve us in our home city.
